ROFLMAO! It's hilarious to watch you squirm.
Let's review your post again...
The hacked site wasn't "the Linux development servers," it was the Free Software Foundation FTP site. It houses no Linux core source code, only code for GNU userland tools.
Obviously, what you left out gives your message a different spin. And obviously, that is inaccurate and misleading. It's much more accurate with my addition...

Factual information is just too easy to come by to be papered over by spin, half stories, and false reassurances from "the community".
Odd. I can't remember squirming at all. When a process is open to the world, from time to time things happen that let the world see your dirty laundry. You fix it and move on. Nothing to squirm about.
On the other hand, when a process is secretive and proprietary, lots of bad things can happen and then be hushed up. I prefer openness.

Actually, it was more spinful with your addition, which attempted to smear the FSF incident with part of the truth.

As opposed to spin, half stories and false reassurances from a proprietary software vendor?
At least with open software, the users will know that something has happened. If Microsoft's download servers had been hacked we would never have heard about it from Microsoft.
